nadavTKL 1,787 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Just thought about it, Mou throw two statements: 1. It's Rooney or nothing, no CM will come. 2. There is no way anyone would leave.Now if Rooney will come, a striker most leave, Jose knows that and he still made that statement. I want to think its a sign that those statements are not very serious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 One has to reckon, having players like Mikel, van Ginkel, the ex-bison in a midfield that has seen Lampard, Deco, Ballack, The Bison, Makelele is the mother of all downgrades. De Rossi would bring a bit of glamour backHe's an over-hyped Mr Motivator. He's got no god given ability. He's advanced basically nothing after 6 years or something?On a serious note, I'm going to watch him with hawk-eye next game. You should., he got your entire midfield in his pocket at several occasions at Old Trafford - even though he completely lost it at others. Btw. how confident are you going in the next season? Doesn't it worry you that last season a Chelsea team which was far from vintage dominated you in all 5 encounters and would have won all 5 if it wasn't for some very dodgy refereeing? The one thing I always admired about Utd was their incredible killer-instinct and ability to grind out result while being completely outplayed. I also associated this ability with Ferguson...not so with Moyes. Meanwhile you missed out on Strootman, Fabregas and will most probably miss out on Modric, too. If you still had ferguson, I would be sure you would compete despite your average squad, but now I can't see you catch up with City's killer team.

cadenza666 221 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Rudi Garcia likes him compared to the old coach, ever since he joined hes given really positive interviews about him wanting to see de rossi and strootman work together in midfield...plus joses interview confirming Rooney as the only target...pretty much ensures we're out of the hunt for a midfielder...anyways Jose himself also said we have too many midfielders atm 5 players for 2 positions so unless we let someone go, doubt any midfield move is happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidzeret 2,257 Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Any chance we can sign him after the Roma friendly?.... i'm surprised the game has no implications on the DDR transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hjperdeath 2,226 Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 Don't really think it is happening though. If it does, we have more depth and there is no complaints, atleast on our side. A surprise after the game would be nice but. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrismada9 1,948 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 With MvG keep showing us his best, it's getting more obvious that we wont get de rossi Not if we sell Mikel to Galatasaray ... ... I do hope that deal goes through and we get De Rossi because Mikel is just absolutely useless at the moment ... ... the same can be said about Essien really.. he looked lost against Roma, but keeping him is vital if we want to have defensive midfield options.

chopchop 68 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 As much as I like DDR, we have 5 players already available to fill 2 positions. Van Ginkel was our midfield signing, and it's looking to be a damn good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Got to say i like the thought of DDR, Rami and MVG rotating pivot roles. Mikel, Essien and Lampard can back them up in that respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Lamps 11,692 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Still ----De RossiRamires--Lamps would be one awesome midfield. Just like the good old one with Maka and Ess. Preseason has indicated that 4-3-3 will still play a part and for a mid 3, 5 players are not enough. And you can't rely on Essien and van Ginkel (yet) in big matches, so no one should mind DDR here.Nonetheless, I reckon he is not coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
